FG to establish building materials manufacturing hubs


The Federal Government says it is set to establish building materials manufacturing hubs across the six geo-political zones.

Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, announced this when he hosted the Executive Chairman of Yiwu China-Africa Business Council, Zheng Xiaopeng in Abuja.

Dangiwa said the proposed locations for the hubs are Sagamu in the South-West, Aba in the Southeast, Warri or Asaba in the South-South, Ajaokuta in the North-Central, Kano in the North-West, and Gombe in the North-East.

The minister announced the ministry’s readiness to collaborate with investors interested in funding and managing the hubs.

He assured his guests that the chosen locations are secure and strategically placed near existing building materials markets.

Dangiwa added that the hubs would have steady power, water, and housing for the workers to have an environment that is conducive for stress-free work.
